It was Gekkouga right? I remeber the leak saying that it literally translated to "moonlit moth" or something

The name was in katakana, which means it only went by phonetics. Japanese can have two different words with identical phonetics, let alone different combinations of the same characters, and that's not even accounting for the fact that most Pokemon names are puns that sometimes combine or leave out parts of words. "Gekkouga" could be "Gekkou + ga", or "Ge + Kouga", or "Gekkou + Kouga", or "Ge + kou + ga", each of which could have several different "literal translations". Remember, the "literal translation" they came up with for Bunnelby came out as "digging bee".

Hell, for all we know, it could refer to a gecko that looks like Koga.

The name kinda sounded like Froakie going from frog to salamander
